Summary: AU of season 5, veering off from canon after the end of 5.04, after Sam and Dean are hunting together again. In a diner one day, Sam notices that something's missing. Something kind of important.
Written for the 2014 Sam & Dean Mini-Bang at
samdean_otp, although clearly my Muse does not comprehend the concept of "mini."
Thanks to
mashimero for the art!
firesign10 is to blame for this. No, seriously, this is all her fault. One of these days, she is going to learn her lesson about encouraging me. And possibly quit beta-ing.
Special thanks to
koshka_the_cat for reading something she has absolutely no interest in and tolerating my babbling,
paperbkryter and
supernutjapan for offering to read, and the readers of the Alter Ego and the Alter Ego's Facebook for putting up with my bitching for the last five months.
Some of the medical stuff may not be precisely accurate, in which case I plead ignorance, inadequate research materials in this area, and/or artistic license. And yes, I am completely ignoring everything Show ever said about paganism and/or pagan deities, because it's always annoyed the fuck out of me and that's a perk of Being The Writer. I'd say that I tried to be more respectful, but that really wouldn't help my cause. (But I did!)
